대한제분, 밀가루 담합 과징금 1793억 부과 받아

South Korea's Fair Trade Commission imposed a substantial 179.3 billion won fine on Daehan Flour and six other millers for coordinated price-fixing in the flour market, demonstrating stronger enforcement against cartels in essential commodity sectors. This significant penalty reflects regulators' commitment to protecting fair competition and consumer welfare, signaling the growing financial and legal risks of anticompetitive conduct. The case exemplifies intensifying antitrust scrutiny across Korea's manufacturing industries.
